Title: Senior Pastor

Hours: Full-time

Job Description

Coal Creek Church of Longview, Washington is seeking a full-time, fully supported senior pastor.
Coal Creek is an independent, fundamental, and dispensational Bible church that has a legacy of support for missions, verse-by-verse expository Bible teaching and an emphasis on grace.
The Church is small with a current typical Sunday worship attendance of 40 to 45 people. The Church meets in a former one-room schoolhouse that seats just under 100 people and has a parsonage nearby. The property has space for expansion.
Despite its small size, it has had a solid ministry since it was founded in 1942. Out of our former attendees, four are now full-time missionaries and three are in the pastorate. The Church supports nine missionaries, and one of the church families has been putting on a weekend missionary conference for over 50 years.
Sunday morning worship is traditional with both hymns and contemporary praise songs. We do not have a worship team. Sunday School classes are available for all age groups, and the Church sponsors a mid-week Women’s Bible Study. Other ministries include quilting and monthly dinner service at the local homeless shelter. Church government is by consensus of the board of ordained elders. The Church practices baptism by immersion and celebrates communion monthly.
We are looking primarily for someone who loves to teach the Word of God. No postgraduate degree is required, but we will support and encourage additional schooling. However, we do require a love for and understanding of grace and a devotion to the literal interpretation of God’s Word.
The Church is in a rural setting, but is not isolated. There is an estimated population of about 100,000 within a 20-mile radius, including the twin cities of Longview and Kelso as well as Castle Rock and Woodland in Washington and Rainier, Oregon just across the Columbia River. The area boasts several ports, paper and lumber mills, a hospital, a community college, and a doubly accredited Christian school.
Portland Oregon, the Mount St Helens National Volcanic Monument and the Pacific Ocean are all within a 60 mile radius. There are numerous opportunities for snow skiing, hunting, fishing, hiking and other outdoor recreation in the area.
